THE Bears' chances of making the semi-finals are promising after a 34-10 drubbing of the Wyong Roos last weekend. North Sydney triumphed in round 21 of the NSW Rugby League ISP Cup at Morry Breen Oval.

General manager Greg Florimo praised his team's great performance. "We were in control for the whole of the match, we were very, very clinical and a number of our players really brought their A-game on the day," he said.

"We managed to find the right areas where we would string a number of passes together and someone would find a hole in the defence, which is what we trained for all week. Those sorts of things came to fruition for us, so it was a real credit to the coach and the team for their preparation."

Florimo expects round 22 against the Wentworthville Magpies at Ringrose Park to be tough.
